***I’m a blog virgin. Be gentle in your comments. I am repeating a couple posts from MUT to practice my blogging skills. I had a difficult time adding the pictures and switching my writing style. I had to learn how to use WordPress and Photoshop all in the same day. Let me know if there is another way to resize photos before my trial with Photoshop is up. ***
Disclosure: This box was paid for by me. There are no affiliate links in this post.
Burke Decor is an online boutique company that has ventured into the subscription world. It offers a couple features that differentiates itself from other subscriptions. There are four different type of subscriptions available: 1. The Whole Home Box 2. Cool and Fresh Spa Box 3. Warm and Earthy Spa Box 4. Floral and Fruit Spa Box. The box is further customized by selecting the monthly delivery options: 1 time only, monthly, every other month, or every 3 months.
Subscription: Burke Decor Cool & Fresh Spa Box
Cost: $45.00 (I think shipping is $6.00, waived if over $50.00)
What to Expect: 3-4 Spa Products and Travel Accessories
I order this box for the luxury brands that I will never buy for myself. Sometimes these brands appear in other subscription boxes, but why wait when you can get them from Burke Decor!
Here are my items from the box. The items look promising!
Izola Bar Good Clean Fun
I look at the picture and wonder. Why did it arrive a week after my son ran through poison ivy during cross country camp? Why is her arm behind her back? Why is she pointing to herself?
More importantly, why is she having Good, Clean Fun when there are no kids!!!
Fig & Yarrow Sugar Scrub Lemongrass & Lime
I’m excited to see Fig & Yarrow in the sub. I wonder if coffee scrubs can be considered a fresh & cool scent.
I love the smell of Lemongrass. I think I am the only one who does not think it smells like Pledge.
You do realize that you are reading the words of a woman who picks weeds out of the garden and eats them.
Izola Sandalwood Candle
Here’s my issue with Burke Decor. I love what they send, but I don’t agree that SandalWood is a cool and fresh sent. I think it is more of an earthy scent. They feel scents can be in more than one category. It’s a wonderful scent.
I don’t think the candle’s tagline “Rekindle An Old Flame” is a husband-approved statement.
I checked with Burke Decor to make sure that the ring was not a mistake. They are sending a piece of jewelry to everyone. I don’t understand midi rings.
It’s not a midi ring, it is a crown for the king of the Superheros!
Verdict: I think I need to adjust my expectation of this box. I have received three boxes so far and no mint or cucumber. The products that I do receive are wonderful and are brands that I expect to see in the box.
I like to thank the 3 chocolate chip cookies that gave up their life to make this blog post possible.
Love it!!!
Was charged for my home box but have not received it yet loved your review on that and look forward to getting it soon!
… Was this PA Anna?
If not, still love this post 🙂
I’ll never tell 🙂 I do think the yellow walls give it away if you read on MUT.
I’m sorry. I forgot that you do read on MUT. I’m so nervous. It’s different than posting on MUT. Thank You for liking it no matter what name I use 🙂
LOL I only notice main posters just used to your signin …. Like when Sneaky Burrito started using her real name I was confused for a bit … I actually saw one of her Amazon reviews when I was semi-shopping I was like “whaaaa? She is everywhere I be!” and she has lots of reviews via Amazon apparently surprised that she is not a Vine reviewer.
As for Amazon think I am going to lay low on the 15th very afraid for major wallet damage … Kinda ticked that everyone but me is getting those minion boxes too and I am getting regular boxes (the container theme again).
Thank You! I am going to try posting the home box tomorrow. Be sure to post what you receive.
AWESOME POST!!!! I laughed, I wondered about scents, and most importantly I now am thinking about midi rings and who decided they would be a “thing!”
Thank You! I was nervous when I hit publish. This is hard work! I don’t know how you do it. It was harder than I thought to come up with clever taglines.
You seriously did an awesome job!!! Some taglines really write themselves. I think it is the easiest when you don’t like the product hahah It does take a little thinking. Sometimes I take a box with me to work so it is near me so I can try to think up something to say about it. Other times I just drink a lot. Sometimes both!
Also it is weird to press “post” and know someone will read it. I remember when I got my first comments I was shocked someone read it!
I am a huge fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank You 🙂 I’m a huge fan of yours! It’s exciting and scary at the same time. WP is also sending me comments from this post. I’m so afraid I am going to see one that says this is a really bad post. What are you thinking trying to blog?
Great review and looks like some useful goodies, except for ring.
Awe, thank you. That means a lot.
Aww, thank you and I enjoy your insights here and at MSA, I’m a fan.
Hahahaha “I don’t understand midi rings.” Me either! Seriously, I’m pretty sure the entire thing started when someone really liked a ring but it was too small and they just said “screw it, I’ll just call it a trend.”
Veronica, that made me chuckle!
True story.
I love lemongrass too! My cousin makes a lemongrass soap that I couldn’t live without.
Julie, the soap sounds wonderful! I’m glad that I am not the only one.

Bravo! Loved your review!
Thank You!
LOL on the soap comments…. Fig and Yarrow is a brand I may need to try soon, just have a bunch of sugar scrubs to work though first.
I used it today. It melts onto your skin. I love it.
i also have zero understanding of midi rings. I am fortunate that they all seem to fit my pinky, but I find them baffling.
Brandy, I am honored that you read my post. I love reading your blog. Thank you for commenting!
Of course I read it 🙂 I don’t have a lot of time to comment always but I just had to on this one!
Now I expect a post on that email we all just received. I found it rather interesting.
Awe, thanks! I was reading your Oui, Please post before signing off the computer. Now I am going to have to post the email. It is rather interesting.
